The classic "You get captured. No, your twenty fortitude save doesn't work against the sleeping poison. Yes, it works on elves. Deal with it."
Of the second:
"Your lawful good paladin has finally achieved his lifelong quest of avenging his father's quest at the hands of Baron Nightfall. Oh, but what's this? It appears his Clone was standing behind you. With a very large sword. Get rolling that new character! Also, your entire family is killed in retribution. And you go to Hell for failing as a paladin."
